The first issue was published in April 2005, and March 2007 will be the last "formal" issue of The Delphi Magazine. In 2006 the magazine was turned from a real paper magazine into a PDF magazine, offering an online subscription that gives access to all articles from issue 97 (September 2003) onwards. Unfortunately, as Julian Bucknall mentioned in his blog, the editor Chris Frizelle felt that the subscriber base and the interest (and faith?) in Delphi may not be enough to warrant the same quality and content every month.
After the March 2007 issue, people can still get access to all articles. In fact, for those without a current subscription this is the best time to take a "web access subscription" to get access to all issues since September 2003. This will cost a one-time payment of only Sterling £35.25 (no more complaints about being overpriced).
Officially, there is no guarantee that new articles and content will be published after the March 2007 issue. However, as long as I'm around, I'll do my best to produce new articles on a regular basis (at least until the end of 2007 - after that, it depends on the demand and feedback if more articles will be produced). It's a shame the monthly issues will come to an end, because the new year will actually offer some interesting new topics to write about with .NET 2.0/3.0 and Vista support.
Worst case, I have to look at other places to publish my Delphi articles after 2007. In the meantime, if you're not already a subscriber, do yourself a favour and get a "web access subscription" to get your hands on the more in-depth technical articles on Delphi. At this price, you won't be sorry, promise!
